★★★★★ 5.0 Tommy Biggar · Jan 2026

Went here with family for the hockey game at Beaver in 2026. I thought the food was very good, the chocolate chip pancakes were great, and the cinnamon roll was amazing, it was really delicious. I also got the steak and eggs. The eggs were good, the steak was ok. Overall I would recommend, can't got wrong!

Went for a birthday breakfast. And the waitress (Haley I believe) brought out a cinnamon roll w/ a candle. Very kind & brought a big smile on his face Service is always quick. Plus they are great at keeping your coffee filled up

I mean, the food is alright. If there was absolutely no other breakfast places within a hundred miles of here, the I guess it would be the best. Luckily, there are better places. The Naked Egg serves a lot of the same kinds of food, but so drastically better. A night and day comparison to here. Cafe Luna (which is a bit of a drive) is also far better. They serve something called a cheese boat, which is just really great. Duck Donuts is easily the best donut place in town. (Albeit even Dunkin is better than the waffle shop) Sheetz is good. The only reason to eat at the waffle shop is if literally all the other restaurants are closed, or if you live in an echo chambre. It is not as good as people claim. It's not even good. Mediocre at best. TLDR: Literally no reason to go here; go

If your server goes by the name Sofia, leave, RUN if you can. She was hostile and short with us during every interaction. My husband begged to go to waffle shop for his birthday and that totally soured the mood. When it came time to pay she gave us the check and HOVERED over us while writing the tip and signing. Common courtesy would be to drop the bill off and walk away. The whole vibe was off, I don’t think we stayed more than 30-40 mins and barely ate the food. You can see how terrible the waiter was from the comically huge amount of food placed in what seems to be a cup sized to go box and YES that is two whole pancakes stacked under the potatoes and omelet. Not surprised to see that I’m not the only one who had a bad interaction with Sofia. Food was fine and nothing special as it’s a
